I'm closing this poll, even though Osprey started it.

Here are the results:

What guidelines should be used to develop the Magician's spell list?
2e style: Illusion and Divination schools only of level 3+ [ 6 ] [25.00%]
BRCS style: enhancement-type spells of other schools as well [ 14 ] [58.33%]
Other (please specify in a post) [ 4 ] [16.67%]
Total Votes: 24


It is pretty clear that a clear majority wants the BRCS-style spells. I'd read this as a separate spell list with more than just Illusion and Divination spells on it, but that is up to you all to figure out.

The reason I'm closing this poll is that if polls remain open too long they lose their intent and the results get waered down by time.

It is probably best to start a fresh poll once some more details are worked out. That is a suggested spell list Try using those tools I posted (i.e., the spreadsheet) to help quantify the effect of placing spells on the magician's spell list.
